Magic Gems Gourmet

Back in town.

By the time Leviathan returned to the city, the sun had already set and the torches were burning everywhere in the town.

In recent metropolises, magic lighting is the mainstay, and even if it is not magic equipment, there are many lighting hanging from the bronze torso, which is separate from pine lighting.

Unlike in the daytime, Suzeid looks out from the sea and has an interesting influence on pine lighting.

I understood the boulevard that leads to Vertens' mansion, which is located at the far end.

--- Hey, what is that?

----- You're kidding... that's all the monsters in just one day...?

----The harbor is full of monsters!

The only voices that jumped were surprisingly stained voices, which were echoed by the townsfolk who rushed to the harbor.

In the meantime, the knight isolates the corner of the pier.

Ain, who had switched to a small boat from Leviathan, was on a strict alert since he had just returned, but in contrast, the air covered with Ain was light.

"Nooo...."

Looking back at the sea level with his hands on his hips, it contained looseness that seemed unlikely to be the return of the monster to the crusade.

When the pier was even more relaxed, it was called gish.

"I feel like I've hunted."

There are still many monsters floating around Leviathan. It's all chained and never flowing, but it's a strange sight anyway. It is natural to say that it occupies most of the night view of the ocean that can be seen from the town.

"If the chains hadn't gone, we'd have hunted more."

Chris, who got off the boat like Ain, said.

"That's right. But that's just too much to carry."

"... I didn't think about it, but what should I do? Although Suzeid has an Alliance, we have to carry it there."

"Can't you consign it to the guild?

"You can do it. But I don't recommend it because it's expensive."

I guess I just fell over.... okay!

"Ah, did you come up with something?

"No, I didn't think of that. So I thought I'd think about it tomorrow."

Chris also relaxed and turned his eyes toward Ain, who smiled lightly.

For now, I'll float in the ocean tonight, tomorrow.

Chris followed the walking Ain with a light step. Having arrived next to him, he went a much smaller distance than before.

"The two of you (Dill and Marco) are supposed to be talking to the guild, so there's still a way to carry them."

"Can I cash in bulk?

That's impossible.

It was a quick answer.

"It's not even a big branch, and it should take months to pay, right?

"On the contrary, they'll pay for it in a few months. I think there are more than 200 monsters."

"The Alliance is rich..."

"I'll leave it feeling like I'm rich. I'll think of a way to carry it anyway. By the way, where is the guild?"

"Certainly... Mr. Krone said it was somewhere on the main street."

I see where Chris pointed his finger, but unfortunately, there are many people now and it is difficult to understand at night.

Ain scratched his cheek thinking he should have checked it first.

Then they went down the back road prepared by the knight, and took their way back to the inn, hearing the astonishing voice of the people.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

I heard it was a big fishery.

I went back to the inn and changed my clothes.

Klone, who came to help, said to Ain and narrowed her eyes.

The question remains as to whether it was a fishery, but it was a great achievement, and the Krone who heard it worked hard for Ain.

Ain in his coat said "thank you" to Krone and walked out with her. I left the bedroom where I had been soaking up my clothes and went back to the living room.

There were Chris and Olivia, and dinner was served at the table.

Ain, good work today.

"Dinner just arrived, let's have it."

That's what the two of them said, and four of them sat down, including Ain and Krone.

It is unusual for Martha to go under Dill, and she is blaming herself because she has a report to King's Landing.

----Ain, who loves seafood, enjoys eating.

"How was your day?

And Olivia asked.

"I feel like I was using my roots to restrain monsters and chain them up after I slaughtered them."

"But... I don't want to touch the chain for a while anymore..."

"Really. I still can't smell the metal I got."

"That's right... I still smell it from my hand, so I'll trick you again with soap later."

"Ah, speaking of chains."

I remembered the monster in the middle of the chain.

"Maybe the scent of the tide still remains."

"Yes? Of the tide...?!

Chris, who remembers the same thing, blushes in an instant and hides his face with both hands.

Eventually I dyed my neck and said, "Give me a break" with a small voice.

Oh, I wonder what happened to Chris.

"Nothing. There was just a lot going on with Ain-sama."

"I want to know all about it. Why did Chris blush his cheeks?"

"... is it because of your mind?

"Fufu, why don't you take my hand and show me your face?

If this happens, there is no escape.

Ain remembers a little regret that he talked lightly, but these interactions seem to be his own.

Next to him, Krone smiled.

That said, when Chris came home, he was in a hurry to take a bath.

"I scratched my sweat!

I did work scratching sweat, and even the scent of the tide would naturally stain me if I stayed in the Mediterranean all day.

Olivia lost her attacker unusual, but that didn't explain why she didn't know the answer.

Chris, I wonder if I didn't swim enough.

"Guu............!"

"I knew it. Did you fall off the monster? Or from the ship?

"... fu, from the ship!?

Ain smiles bitterly at Chris when he reopens it.

That was certainly in the afternoon, when I got a little tired.

Ain and Chris were also helping with chaining to the monster, and when they tried to go under one monster in pairs, Chris did it. It's not particularly dangerous or complicated work, but Chris has been playing tricks for a long time.

(I like it when I look away.....)

I was like, "Huh?" and then I heard the pathetic sound of Pochan.

There was no danger.

The monster was wiped out by Ain, and Chris could handle it where he was in the first place.

There was no tension of crusade today if she was to cover the part where she was unconscious.

It is just a memory of the simple task of wrapping the chains, as the roots of the trees grasp and wipe it away.

"Ain, how did you help him?

Krone whispered in her ear.

"After I grabbed him with my fantasy hand, I lifted him up and put him back on the ship."

"That's right...."

"Thanks to this, Chris felt a little subsided this afternoon, but I don't think I can help it. Even Dill said," This isn't a crusade, is it? "

Krone also shook her head vertically and agreed, looking at the work that was lacking in flashness in inverse proportion to the results.

(Nevertheless)

How do we get it to the Alliance? First of all, the question is whether the Alliance has a place to place all the monsters, and if not, what should I do?

----I have to go to Dill's room later.

I want to consult and share information.

I would like advice if possible, but it seems difficult.

It is doubtful whether there are so many sea monsters in the history to this day, and even if there are, it is not difficult to imagine the slightest.

------Dismantling in the ocean... is also different.

It looks like it will stain the sea, and I have a sense of repudiation.

I knew it would be difficult to come up with it here, and Ain stopped thinking.

Then he grabbed a glass of fruit water at once and looked at the seat directly in front of him.

As Chris, who had been hiding his face until now, watched him avoid his hands at some point, but ate with his face bright red, his eyes met.

"... it wasn't like I wasn't swimming enough!

Recalling her memories of the island she had been on the other day, she offered a mysterious excuse.
